In the case of framework agreements, provide justification for any duration exceeding 4 years:

The Framework Agreement will be established for a maximum duration of 5 years as catered for in certain circumstances in accordance with Art. 33.1 of Directive 2014/24/EU. The reason for the extended duration beyond the standard four (4) years is to take account of the evolution of the service delivery of IT security systems, the degree of embeddedness within the NTPF and associated stakeholders (hospitals) and difficulty to change associated with a shorter framework.
